[Docket No. CP98-279-000]

 
Williams Gas Pipelines Central Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

March 18, 1998.
    Take note that on March 11, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, 
Inc. (formerly named Williams Natural Gas Company) (Williams), P.O. Box 
3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP98-279-000, a 
request, pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.208(b), and 157.212(a) of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.208, and 157.212), for authorization to utilize facilities, both 
acquired and constructed, for the delivery of NGPA Section 311 
transportation gas to Kansas City Power & Light (KCPL) for the Hawthorn 
power plant in Jackson County, Missouri, for purposes other than NGPA 
Section 311 transportation, under Williams' blanket certificate 
authorization issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000, pursuant to Section 7 
of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williams asserts that it seeks to utilize existing NGPA Section 311 
transportation facilities for other deliveries of gas to KCPL so that 
KCPL will have the opportunity to transport not only NGPA Section 311 
gas, but capacity release and Section 284 gas as well.
    Wiliams says it began flowing gas to KCPL for the Hawthorn plant on 
August 11, 1997. Williams reports that the on-behalf-of party for the 
transportation agreement is Enogex, Inc., an intrastate pipeline 
company. Williams indicates that according to KCPL, the projected 
annual volume of delivery is estimated to be approximately 1.8 to 1.9 
Bcf with a peak day volume of 50,800 Dth. Williams reports that the 
total project cost was approximately $17,701,7814, which will be 
recouped through a new firm transportation agreement with KCPL.
    Williams states that this change is not prohibited by an existing 
tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries 
specified without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers. 
Williams says it has sent a copy of this request to the Missouri Public 
Service Commission.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
